Cedar City police are asking residents to be aware of their surroundings after authorities received a report of a rape earlier this week and determined the suspect is a public safety risk.
The rape is alleged to have occurred near 570 West and 1045 North on Wednesday night, according to a police department news release.
The release didn’t include additional details of the alleged rape, which Sgt. Clint Pollock said was department policy for rape cases.
The suspect is described as a white man, between 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 6 feet tall with an average build.
